In the end, Li Bokang still didn't go up the mountain, but Laishu went with a catcher.

This time, Li Bokang brought a total of two catchers, and there were four people with him.

Now Laishu went up the mountain with one catcher, leaving him and another catcher named Zhang Sheng in the carriage waiting for them to come down.

It didn't take long, only about half an hour later, to come down with the catcher called Qian Jin, and brought good news.

When he came down from the tree, he told him, "My lord guessed accurately, there is indeed a cave under the big stone, but the place is not big, but it is still enough for us." ”

Li Bokang asked him: "The place is not far away, can the carriage go up?" ”

"Back to the master, the place is not far away, and the strength of a stick of incense will be there, but maybe the carriage can't get up, and there is no way."

Li Bokang was silent after hearing this, and finally decided to go up the mountain.

As for the carriage, untie the carriage, find a place to put it, and lead the horse up the mountain.

After arriving at the place, Li Bokang found that the place where Laishu said was small, but it was actually not small for the four of them.

After all, this cave was enough to house the four of them, and there was still room for them.

Moreover, even if they brought their carriages up, it would be enough to put them down.

In fact, the best thing here is a cave, and the bad thing is that it is a stone shed, and it is a stone shed without walls.

The cave is just a large rock extending out of it, and there is a large gap underneath.

It's just that there is another big rock on the right side of it, and there is a small tree in front of the stone to the left.

The place on the left is not covered by stones except for some vegetation.

However, there was a stone of unknown size in front of the cave, which partially covered the cave.

The top of the stone is a little uneven, but it is still permissible for people to stand on it.

As for the large stone where they created the cave, it can be vaguely seen that it is very large, at least the area that can be seen is not small.

And the place they are in should belong to the foot of the mountain, and it seems to be safe as long as nothing else.

Look at the cave again, there is some mess inside, there is some gravel, but more dry sand.

Li Bokang saw it and said, "Let's clean up first, I don't know how long we are going to stay here?" ”

After speaking, he began to roll up his sleeves and start, and the other three people saw that he had done it and helped clean up.

Zhang Sheng first tied the horse to the tree on the right before he began to help.

The reason why the horse is tied there is, of course, is because the horse can also hide from the rain.

The cave wasn't big, and it wasn't particularly messy, so the three of them quickly cleaned up the tower.

Because they came down the mountain road before, and there was a lot of rain on the grass and trees on the road, the clothes on the four of them were already wet.

It's spring, it's the season to get sick, their clothes are wet, and they've been sweating from their work just now, and the cave isn't very windy.

If the wind blows too much like this, Li Bokang is worried that they will get sick and catch a cold.

Moreover, they don't know when the rain will stop, whether the road will be able to go immediately after it stops, and they don't know how long they will stay here.

So, they have to pay attention to these things and not let Jean get sick.

So he ordered the trees to go to the wagon and bring up everything they could use, mainly clothes, and they could not wear wet clothes all the time.

In addition, he asked Zhang Sheng and Qian Jin to pick up some firewood around and come back for backup, and he himself went with them.

He went out mainly to see if there was anything to eat, and if they were going to spend the night here today, they would have to have something to eat.

So, the group of four went to their own thing.

The first to come back were Zhang Sheng and Qian Jin, then Laishu, and Li Bokang was the last to come back.

Li Bokang didn't find anything to eat, so he picked up bundles of wet dry firewood and came back.

When they saw him come back, they were finally relieved, and they were worried that something had happened to him.

Li Bokang saw that they hadn't lit the fire yet, so he asked them to light the fire first, and then change their clothes, otherwise it would not be good to take off and catch a cold all of a sudden.

As for the fire fold, he usually takes it with him when he goes out of the house, and there are a few sections of dry wood and some hay in the cave, so the fire is quickly lit.

When the fire grew, he asked them to change their clothes, and this time they came out with no one to bring two sets of clothes to change and wash.

Because they were all men, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, so they quickly took off their wet clothes outside.

After taking off their coats, their underwear was also wet because they had just gone out, and several people looked at each other a little.

But in the end, he was still embarrassed to change his underwear and pants in front of outsiders, so Li Bokang said: "There is a fire here, bake it, and put it on when it is dry." ”

The others didn't have any objections, so they gathered around the fire and roasted their clothes almost before putting on their coats.

There wasn't much to do after that, and the rain outside showed no signs of abating.

Li Bokang saw the wet clothes they had changed just now, and said, "Let's build a rack and bake these wet clothes too." ”

Several people also followed his sight to see the pile of wet clothes, nodded and went to set up a shelf.

There are many people and great strength, and soon they used the firewood they had picked up to build two simple drying racks.

Because most of the firewood burned now is wet, the fire is not big, and they are not very willing to burn, so Zhang Sheng and they took some firewood to the fire pond to bake, and it will burn for a while.

It was getting darker, and the rain was only a little lighter than before, so it looked like they had to stay here for the night.

And today, except for a few things they ate in the morning when they were in the mountain pass, they have not eaten a little bit until now, and they are a little hungry when they go and do some physical labor.

Li Bokang carefully recalled in his mind whether there was anything to eat in the carriage under the mountain, and he didn't think of anything in the end.

Finally, he asked Laishu: "Laishu, when you went to get something before, did you see anything to eat in the carriage?" ”

When he set off from home, Yang Xue prepared some food for him, but after such a long time, it should have been gone for a long time, but he was not sure that he would ask such a question.

Seeing Laishu shaking his head, Li Bokang also felt that this was expected, but what should they do now, it's okay to be hungry for a day, but they can't be hungry like this.

They don't know if they'll be able to leave tomorrow, so he's a little worried.

Finally, it was getting dark, and the rain was much lighter, but it was no longer suitable for hurrying.

He asked Zhang Sheng and Qian Jin to go outside with him to look for it, try their luck, and see if they could catch a pheasant or hare back, so that their dinner could be solved.
